Some nice bones to that space. What’s it going to look like when it’s complete?

Pretty amazing. You can see straight through the building to State Street from Winter.

We've got windows! Love that they're operable. Site work looks to be coming along for the CHOM sites, hope they can go vertical soon.

Wow. White would not have been my first choice.

I think black windows have been impossible to get and quadruple the price

That's too bad. Always at the mercy of money here in this country instead of what looks good like the rest of the world.

The window sash color was not a financial decision, but driven by the historic tax credits. Somewhat surprisingly, the building's original windows were white, and thus the National Park Service requires us to match the original historic windows as closely as possible.

To be fair, I've seen many of new construction flubs around the world

This piece along Spring (which I think is for the retail?) coming along nicely.

It is! Feel free r throw out suggestions for what you would like to see here. I’ve been pinging Indy’s Sandwich shop in SoPo. I’ve also pinged the Palace Diner/Rose Bagel folks. Open to any and all suggestions! ~C

Would love something with an "all day" vibe. I don't know if you've been to Smalls down by the CBB but they do a good job making it somewhere to hang out, have coffee, do a little laptop work, have breakfast or lunch, or have a cocktail in the evening.
